What’s New?
The concept for Newark builds on an accessible path through the site and under shady trees. Parents and caregivers will appreciate a new stroller parking area and new seating throughout the site. Both younger and older children will find exciting new equipment, including climbing equipment and small boulders to sit or play on. A new rubberized play surface brings additional color and accessibility to the site.
How You’ll Move Grow and Be Green
Kids can MOVE on new play equipment, including climbing pieces for older children. Let your imagination GROW through play on natural boulders. Mature trees and the adjacent garden teach us all how to BE GREEN.
